One OF the most important manu-
featuring establishments spoken of
just now for our town is the carriage
and wagon factory. The parties who
have the matter in hand are compe-

hope they will succeed in raising the
amount of capital necessary to build
on large scale.-M0rristown Pilot.
The Clinch Valley NewS truly says ::
ut was bright sweet light that went
out when Mrs. Cosby Kelly Young
died at her home on Wednesday last.
Hers had been a life of sunshine, and
its brightness had filled the hearts OF
many who now mourn her absence"
Many will remember her as a sweet
school girl at Sullins, a few short
years since.-Courier.
The fate of the dude thief at Morris
town is an apt illustration of the old
addage, "all is not gold that glitters.
Fine clothes good personal appearance
and popular manners, frequently hide
bad heart and wicked disposition
Upon the other hand, a homely face
rough garb and uncouth manner, are
not inseparable from a manly form
and an upright, noble character
Clothes do not always make the mar
by any means.-KnOrriHe Journal
